Project-Vision

Postman collections for DellEMC's storage products' REST APIs

Details

This IaC Avengers' project leverages Postman's import collection capabilities to provide sample API calls for the following products:

  • PowerMax
  • PowerStore
  • PowerFlex (formerly ScaleIO and VxFlex)
  • VPLEX - this collection has been kindly contributed by Ankur Patel
  • ECS management and ECS S3 API - these two collections are courtesy of Christopher Jenkins
  • Unity
  • XtremIO
  • SC (Compellent)
  • iDRAC Redfish
  • Connectrix Brocade switches
  • PowerOne (tested only with the PowerOne simulator)

The goal of the project is to help customers of these products to automate day 1 and day 2 operations by looking at handy examples. API reference guides can sometimes be many hundreds of pages, so by looking at some of the most common operational examples one can kickstart coding efforts. Each collection aims to provide sample calls in these areas:

  • Gather system and hardware information
  • Basic provisioning
  • Performance and event collection

Where possible, API calls in these collections have been provided with a sample response so that developers can more easily see what fields are relevant for their purpose and help fast tracking the coding effort, even if they don't have access to a real array

The following table shows the different environment parameters that are required for each collection

Array Variable Variable Variable
XtremIO ip pwd
Unity ip pwd csrfToken
PowerMax/VMAX ip pwd serial
PowerFlex ip pwd token
PowerStore ip pwd token
SC ip pwd
iDRAC Redfish ip pwd
Brocade ip pwd authkey
PowerOne token

If you are interested in automating products the Dell's Data Protection portfolio such as Networker, Data Domain, Avamar and more you can visit Raghava Jainoje's repo. He has provided Postman collections for those products
